and again....

17*10 with a +20 offset will not fit an R32 without some serious guard work (think Torana A9X). You may get away with it with 6+ degrees of neg camber 17*9 with a +24 is about a wide as you would want to go. 10inch will need 265's, 255 may fit with some major stretch factor. I'd be very interested to see some pics of anyone's R32 with 10 inch rims Regards Andrew

I weighed my R32 GT-R at Calder 2 weeks ago (Thanks to Stephen) and it came up at 1554kgs with a full tank and no driver. Regards Andrew

Clayton, I'm about to do the same thing with my dunger. I thought double clutching was the norm! I ran the heavyweight in the rex and it was unbelievable. Andrew

This bloke hasn't got a skyline in his shed at the moment anyway! Regards Andrew

Yes, that is what Howard from Racebrakes tells me. Regards Andrew

You are correct, this one will be spaced. Regards Andrew

Hi Andrew, The brake package I'm looking at has braided lines included with them. Regards Andrew

I haven't done anything yet. I'm trying to find out what the biggest rotor is I can use with the rims that I have. It looks like 365mm with be the biggest without going for a TE37 style of rim (can't get the right offset in these rims). Basically I'm probably going to end up with 365 * 34 mm rotors and 6 pot calipers, AP600 Fluid, Comp 9 pads at the rear. Braided lines as well. My Nismo strut brace alrady has a master cylinder stopper. I couldn't imagine needing to do anything else unless I was pulling 300+kmh on the main stragith at Philip Island????? Regards Andrew

I have used pagid blues on my old Sti and found them to be much harder on rotors and quite a bit more expensive. When hawks are up to temp they are quite reasonable on rotor wear and they will not fade. Regards Andrew

9.5 inch would be ideal, but it's pretty good. My other rims have the same size tyres and they are straight up and down (Azeni ST115). I think the RE55's are a bit wider than 265 in reality, mine measure about 270mm. Regards Andrew

Hawk Blues are the only choice.... http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/hawk.htm Order them direct from the U.S. and they are about 40% cheaper than buying them here. Regards Andrew

265/35/18's Regards Andrew

That's great, thanks for that. Looks like the 365's it is then. I've just got back from Donnellan's after getting some RE55's fitted to some R34 Rims. I'm almost ready, just waiting in the racepace queue now Andrew

Thanks, I'll send him a PM. Andrew

Yep, all very true on both sides. I guess my questions is: Why do 90% of the race engines I see use a MAP based system rather than MAF? I think ARC rally cars are the only race engines I've seen that use MAF and that's only because of the production based regs. Some good discussion starting to happen here. Regards Andrew

Another view on the MAF v MAP debate, from Ben Strader - one of the better Autronic tuners in the U.S. and founder of www.efi101.com Regards Andrew ============================== The Autronic unit differs slightly in the way it calculates fuel and ignition from the stock unit and most other aftermarket systems in that it uses "speed/density" to calibrate with. Basically it uses a "map sensor" to indicate the pressure inside the manifold {negative or positive} and then references that value against the engine speed. Then, using a complex mathematical sequence based on the PV=NrT theory it calculates the actual amount of air in the engine for one cycle.........multiplies that time RPM {number of cycles} and then looks that value up in a "Base Fuel Table" which the user can modify to add or subtract fuel to obtain a desired A/F ratio. The factory and some aftermarket systems use a MASS FLOW system which directly measures the air entering the engine {corrected for temperature} and then uses the same style of tables to look up user entered values. This sytems works well, but does have some drawbacks. First, beacuse all of the air going into the engine must be actually measured, it must pass through a calibrated orifice called the Mass Air Flow Sensor. This sensor poses a restriction to airflow and can be a horsepower robber at elevated power levels. Second, any air leaks after the sensor, but before the throttle body will cause a lean condition because there is no means of measuring that "sneaky" air. The Speed/Density method only cares about the air inside the manifold at any given time and is therefore a bit more flexible. Plus, you can eliminate the stock mass air meter to gain additional power, or leave it in place to maintain the stock appearance. Plus the Autronic comes with the Auto-tune option and Anti-Lag functions plus unlimited options for data logging as STANDARD options........all inculded in the price. Again I think the UTEC is a great system and I have NO complaints about it. The Autronic is just another good option for everyone. ======================

Has anyone done this before and were there any clearance issues with R34 rims? Regards Andrew

Anything with a 24mm offset is a perfect fit. 9 inches wide is the max you would want to run from my experience. Regards Andrew

Sydneykid, Have you ever driven a GT-R with an Autronic fitted? Regards Andrew

You're right there, the Autronic get's around that by mapping on TPS up to zero vacuum and then switches to MAP. Pretty cool I reckon. Regards Andrew
